Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Went to go start on the headlights and then I noticed, I grabbed the 3M renewal kit, not the restoration kit. Looks like back to the auto part store tomorrow for an exchange

The renewal kit is the same as the restoration kit or are you wanting the $29 one that comes with the UV protective stuff?

Remember don't get discouraged, take your time, you got this. Oh and B&A pics.

ahhh i thought they may be different so i was like oh great._. lol. but being as they are the same ill stick with this one. The one I bought was 24.99 which is the renewal the restoration from pepboys is like 22.99. Not sre if anything is different via what they come with.
this is the one I bought:






This is the one I was going to get if I returned it:



Yep will definitely post B&A pics

The only difference between the two is that the one you have comes with tape and a few extra sanding disc.

ah ok. Well that is one less trip tomorrow and more time on the headlights lol

thanks for the info

Your welcome, why wait, get to work soldier. Fix them headlights right meow.

LOL I honestly would but the garage doesn't have decent light and I don't want to go screwing up lol

You know I was just playin, I am the laziest person I know, hence why my Roof Rails are still not on the car.

LOL i know :P Iwould love to get them done though but light is not on my side xD.

Still not on??? eeessshhhh jkjk

Finally cleaned out the truck yesterday. I swear there was at least 2 lbs of dog hair in there.....now it no longer smells like an ashtray.....I love my Oreck mini sweeper! The snow has finally melted in the bed and the PO left me a nice Irwin pipe wrench and a ratchet strap

I don't know why so many people buy those kits to "restore" headlights. 90% of them don't work and if its going to go to the extent of sanding you're better off wet sanding like I did.

Spent less than $20 on all the sand paper and I bought 2-3x more than I needed.

Halfway down page 1 is where I did it.

I bought a pack that had 400, 600, 800, 1000. Used the last 3 in that order, then jumped to 1500 and finished with 2000. I wet sanded every time and once complete I used some polishing compound with a buffer and let them dry. Layered on some wax for kicks and grins and put them back on. Been 2 years and barely hazing back over now.

liquid compound and a porter cable did a pretty good job clearing my head lights up.

Got my fender stripes in today!!! Gotta wait till tomorrow to put them on cause of bad rainy weather

Redid the second patch on the driver quarter. Didn't like how it was sitting before.. also undercoated everything

Also almost done with driver fender, passenger fender done, passengers quarter almost done.








... also got undercoat and panel bond all over my hands lmao

Looks like you need some new struts ^^

And some new shorts

Yea gonna be doing new shocks and struts sometime within the next year. Right now i'm just focused on getting her painted, new brakes, tires, alignment, and get her running in time for the dells meet. Then when I get a chance i'm gonna get new shocks/struts and new exhaust.

L67 swap

Nope. Turbo swap.... well light turbo mod first then when I have the money saved then turbo swap lol

slapped a set of new wiper blade on it today. sadly they still worked great short of one tearing off a bit, got 2.5 years out of them, wish i could remember the brand i used.

got some cheap ass valuecraft blades, as they had nothing much in stock my size. see how long these last, new they work just fine.
